AI is transforming higher education, redefining how institutions approach teaching, learning and campus life.
Join Mithun partners Elizabeth Hearn and Jason Steiner for “AI-Driven Campus Spaces: Redefining How Students Live and Learn” to examine the spatial impacts of AI integration. This session will emphasize the growing need for adaptive, human-centered environments that support AI-assisted learning, promote student well-being amid digital immersion, empower diverse populations to utilize campus resources, and enhance campus safety. Drawing on current research, computational design methods and case studies, presenters will show how flexible environments foster student autonomy, innovation and collaboration — key drivers of successful AI adoption. Attendees will gain practical, evidence-based strategies to plan and design campus spaces that build resilience, connection and creativity in an AI-driven academic future.
Elizabeth and Jason will co-present this session with UC Santa Barbara associate vice chancellor of housing and dining Willie Brown.
